• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Although there has been little chatter lately regarding the 29 Palms Marine Base Expansion there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes. The Partnership for Johnson Valley (PFJV) has been asked by an independent analyst to once again survey the users of Johnson Valley to determine the potential economic loss to not only Johnson and Lucerne Valley but the surrounding towns too.

This issue is key in making our case against the 29 Palms Marine Corps base expansion.

I have been asked to once again gather information on dollars and time spent in the Johnson/Lucerne Valley and surrounding towns. (Surrounding towns include: Apple Valley, Hesperia, Victorville, Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley,
etc.)

I would like to know the following:

1) How many trips do you make to Johnson Valley a year? (approx)

2) Where do you travel from? Do you travel up the 15 and then through Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley or do you drive the back way through Morongo, Yucca Valley and travel the 247?

3) Where do you normally purcahse your fuel, groceries, firewood, misc supplies for your desert trips? Is it your home towns or do you spend money in the towns surrounding Johnson/Lucerne Valley?

4) When you do purchase gas, groceries, firewood, hardware, restaurant or misc purchases in the towns surrounding Johnson Valley what is your estimated spending and in which surrounding town? (Apple Valley, Lucerne, Yucca Valley, etc)

5) If you had to estimate the value of the rigs you bring to Johnson Valley what would that be? (Truck, toyhauler, motorcycles, race cars or trucks, support vehicles and equipment)

Please reply to me at kim@pfjv.org

I can assure you that all information submitted is kept in strict confidence. We never ever use names. I am only capturing data. Once we have completed the survey I will post our results.

One more thing, I will post this survey on Race-Dezert, Pirates 4X4 and Thumper Talk. If you are a user on other off-road forums please copy and paste this info. We would like to capture as many users as possible.

Thank you,

Kim
